I am David...

                                                         - A Movie Review-

          I haven't done a movie review in while and I like this movie,so why not do a review. =)



(image from Amazon.)
Adapted from the book, I Am David by Anne Holm....
Rated: PG for thematic elements and violence.

  
 David, a 12-year-old, escapes from a Communist concentration camp with little more than a compass, a sealed letter, a loaf of bread, and instructions to carry the letter to Copenhagen, Denmark. David is thrust into the free world for the first time in his young life as he travels across Europe. His spiritual voyage of discovery, where David slowly loses his instinctive mistrust of humanity and begins to smile, share, trust and ultimately, love, addresses the cruelties, politics, and suffering of warfare while celebrating the resilience of youth and the unbreakable spirit of a child. (descrption from IMDb)

                                                           David is played by Ben Tibber.
 He did a really good job portraying David. I've never seen this actor in any other movie,but he did a good job.
                   


               Plot- It was a very good plot,and not totally perdictable,might seem boring in some places,but definitely captivating and keeps your interest. I'ld give the the plot 5 out of 5 stars.

          Modesty- Woman aren't really shown,but the ones that are I don't remember anything inmodest.But one scene David shown bathing,but his waist up and legs are all that are shown. Just so you know.

           Age rating- This movie is rated PG which I think is a good rating I would say if your kids are 10 and up it would be okay,but if their younger I'ld suggest watching it first. There are I think only 2 scenes that could of been gorey,but weren't at all,.But they made them kinda scary on the way they shot the movie,so beware of that. 




NOTE: If your a sensitive person,this movie will probably make you cry or like me tug at your heart. As you've seen in the trailer above.


                                               Have any of you seen this movie?
                                                           Did you like it?
          If you haven't seen this movie I've tried to make this review as less imformation as possible,cause it really is a movie that is good to watch if you don't know whats going to happen. =)

 I hope you all have a wonderful sabbath.
